I went to a favorite former dump site in a wooded area where I can generally pull out at least one interesting item per hunt.. About 30 minutes in to getting eaten alive by mosquitoes I found a little spot with several targets .. After pulling out a lawn-mower blade, mason jar lids and about 15 bottle caps I popped out this guy! It put a smile on my face instantly.. I immediately started to wonder how it got there.. Did a child lose it while playing? Was it just thrown in the trash? Mom stepped on it one too many times?..
A small amount of research tells me that it's a 1930's Wyandotte Mystery Plane.. Slightly rare, some ask over $100 for them on ebaY.. Mine doesn't have the nice paint job like some but it does have both propellers..
I found it yesterday evening but just had a chance to post it now.. I've had it on my desk all day and it makes me happy to look at it.. Key date coins, gold & silver.. This is my most rewarding find so far.![happy3 :happy3: :happy3:](https://www.treasurenet.com/smilies/happy3.gif)
It measure 4 3/4" wide X 4" long
